The issue of water - its quality, its quantity and its
guaranteed availability to all people regardless of income
or social status is one of the most pressing challenges
facing the world community today.

Seventy per cent of the Earth ’s surface is covered with
water and yet there is an acute water shortage. This is
because 97.5 per cent of it is salt water and almost three
quarters of the freshwater is frozen in ice caps.
Consequently, more than one third of the world ’s population
that is 2.4 billion people has no access to clean water.

Indeed, the availability of clean, fresh water is one of the
most pressing issues facing humanity today. Water is
essential for health, agriculture, security, power
generation, transportation as well as ecosystems.
Furthermore, access to water is a human right as it is the
most basic element of life.

Without safe drinking water, human beings cannot survive.
Water-related diseases are among the most common causes of
illness and death, and more than three million people die
every year from disease caused by unsafe water. The majority
of people affected by contaminated and unhealthy water live
in developing countries.

The world now faces a critical situation regarding the
sources of water. Statistical reports show that a fifth of
the world ’s population does not have access to drinking
water. Experts say that the world is going to face a severe
problem regarding water in the next 20 years. Some say that
the cause of the third world war could be shortage of water.
This problem already prevails in some countries.

By consuming water excessively we are depriving the future
generation from a resource, which is essential for life.
Water pollution is another major cause of non-availability
of drinking water. In order to conserve water, we need to
spread awareness about the importance of fresh water. Once
the world knows the dire situation it is in, it will try to
conserve water.

The need of the time is to focus on the platforms like Drink
tech Asia so that the countries of the region could join
hands together and work for the conservation of water. As
water consumption is increasing twice as fast as the number
of people consuming it. Drink Tech Asia explains
how to profit from this growth while improving water supply,
quality, and infrastructure on a regional scale.
